Gladiolus 'Amber Mystic'
gladioli bulbs
Gorgeous creamy-white flowers beset by a blackcurrant centre are the hallmark of this striking gladiolus. Rising above sword-shaped, dark grey-green leaves, the sturdy and erect flowering spikes appear over a fortnight in summer to grace the cottage garden or cut-flower vase. A real flower show winning contender!
